Hi Mike,

I think you need to use the Transaction report, and then play about with the 
Primary Key (set to number) and Secondary Key (Set to other account name) and 
Secondary Subtotal On.

The filter section lets you do such things as find out how much you spent on 
just widgets and sprockets using your credit cards (Accounts = Credit Cards & 
children; Filter By=Expenses:Widgets & Expenses:Sprockets, Filter Type= 
include...) 
This will exclude Checking -> Widgets and Credit Card -> thingamy-bobs.

HTH,
Maf.
